PICK OF THE WEEK SHAKIRA SNATCHES DOUBLE PLATINUM She’s one of pop’s newest, brightest voices. And, for many critics, one of its creative song- writers as well. Shakira recently received a Double Platinum record from Sony Music Mexico for her debut album Pies Descalzos on the Sony Discos label. The award was presented to Shakira after her sold-out concert in San Juan, Puerto Rico’s Roberto Clemente Coliseo. Shakira, a native of Colombia, has been causing humongous waves of interest throughout the Latin world in the past year. She’s had one song on the pop charts, on the Tropical and a #2 hit on the Top 40 with her single “Estoy Aqui.” Her .second single, “Donde Estas Corazon,” reached thei I .lAGLIARES: FI F^quilibtio De Los ./af;uares (BMG U.S. Latin, 74321- 41236) Producer: Don Was, Ed Cherney & .laguares.
